During the interview, Manson brought up the Doors before I did, calling Morrison "my whole inspiration" back when he first started writing poetry as a teenager. Later in life, Manson plugged into keyboardist Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger; the trio jammed on some Doors songs in 2012, giving Manson serious Lizard King vibes.

"That's what they did with Jim because he was chaos and they were the tornado, and they just had to go with it. They didn't really have any choice."</a> tag:metafilter.com,2015:site.146281Tue, 20 Jan 2015 07:09:21 -0800josher71For if we don't find the next whiskey-bar, I tell you we must die!http://www.metafilter.com/134765/For%2Dif%2Dwe%2Ddont%2Dfind%2Dthe%2Dnext%2Dwhiskey%2Dbar%2DI%2Dtell%2Dyou%2Dwe%2Dmust%2Ddie
"Oh, show us the way, to the next whiskey-bar. Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why." And so opens the <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=vyK-yJZoY1UC&pg=PA199#v=onepage&q&f=false">Alabama Song</a> (Google books preview) by Bertholt Brecht and <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=89GRrGQlmc4C&pg=PA104#v=onepage&q&f=false">Brecht's close collaborator, Elisabeth Hauptmann</a> (Gbp), first published in 1927. Brecht set it to music and performed it on stages all over Berlin, but the better known version was <a href="http://www.cabaret-berlin.com/?p=843">scored by classical composer Kurt Weill, who was impressed with Brecht's poetry and wanted to break away from the constraints of his previous work</a>. It was this version, first <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-5ata4jDyk">performed by Lotte Lenya</a>, that was made famous <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQJFWhn1R_w">by The Doors</a> and their use of a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyL5kRefsz0">Marxophone</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxophone">Wikipedia</a>). For contrast, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGZ9B2CMwp4">here's the song performed</a> as part of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahagonny-Songspiel">Mahagonny Songspeil</a> by the Carnegie Mellon University senior class of 2012, sung by women in search of "the next pretty boy." And <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-tOZ1Su6fo">here is Marianne Faithfull live</a>, singing those same lyrics.
<a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/in-bertolt-brechts-baal-mw0000838357">David Bowie, a fan of Brecht</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ibH-BkZg0o">performed the song in 1978</a>, and in years following, including in 2002, when he introduced the song by saying "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNCEURBYEGo">And when I was living in my apartment in Berlin, I would sing this at breakfast every morning.</a>" Bowie opted to go with the same language used by The Doors in the 1960s, as featured in <a href="http://vimeo.com/64948957">their self-titled debut album</a> (full album on Vimeo).
There a number of other covers of this song, including <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaRDIAaz3vA">Marilyn Manson</a> (live) and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruFmC1KO7nQ">The Bobs</a> (studio recording). And we'll wrap up with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C648sopLG1I">The Doors live, with Love Me Two Times</a>, featuring an organ instead of the Marxophone. If you want more Marxophone, here's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YzAm6Ixldw">The Doors - Alabama Song (Niconé edit)</a> (YT; alt link: <a href="https://soundcloud.com/dantze-baby/the-doors-alabama-song-nicon">Soundcloud</a> stream and download link).
